I am a learning programmer who is trying to do some simple experiments. However, when I go to change my code, the exported SWF never updates; it simply tests an older version of whatever I am testing. The only way for me to fix this is by restarting Flash, which is not ideal in any way.BTW I am using Flash CS5.5, if that means anything.

View 2 RepliesIs updating a Flex Mobile Application done in the same way an Air application is updated? Can't seem to find information specifically for mobile on this. Apparently, if I trace out Updater.isSupported, it gives back false. From the Adobe documentation: The AIR update framework is only supported in the desktop profile. It is not supported for extended desktop applications (applications installed with a native installer), and it is not supported on the mobile profile (iPhone applications written with ActionScript 3.0). Check the Updater.isSupported property at runtime to see if the update framework is supported. So how do you implement updates for Mobile Apps created with Flex (Android + iOs)?
View 1 RepliesDoes Adobe had releases the source code for the components that comes with Flash CS4 (fl.controls.*). If not, is there any way to use the Flash component library with another IDE like FlashDevelop for code and compile the flash applications.
View 1 RepliesI am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
View 1 RepliesFlash, you can select an image in the library and update it's path to a different picture, in turn affecting anything on the stage that uses that image. Can this be done with ActionScript? I know you can export the bitmap, but how do I address this in AS without having an instance name?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to update the Flash 5 actionscript on an old Deconcept file to at least Player 7 and AS 2.0. Here's my updated code -The snow flake movie clip:
Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
// mostly just initializing some vars[code]....
When I trace the different variables I don't see any problems but the snow just isn't visible.
I would like to update this "Rollover Depth" script to work in Flash Player 7 (works in 6):url...The functionality works much better than the standard rollOver/rollOff scripts.I assume there's a problem with how the variables are declared, but haven't been able to fix it yet.[code]

What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?

View 2 RepliesI want to have my code/class library stored in an RSL (as a SWF online) which is then loaded during runtime by the host SWF. I learned about this technique from Colin Moock in his book Essential Actionscript 3.0 (Chapter 31: Distributing a Class Library).Now, I know that if you share graphics between SWFs via RSLs, you can update the graphic in the RSL and have all SWFs that access that RSL use that updated graphic.
But I want to store code in an online RSL, that is shared by multiple SWFs, and then when the code needs to be updated, I simply recompile the SWF (do I even need to worry about the SWC anymore?) containing the class library and upload and overwrite the existing RSL on the web. Voila! The code is now updated in all SWFs that share that RSL Class Library.The problem is, I can't get it to work right. CS3 and CS4 aren't updating and CS5 just crashes on export!
The code I'm testing with simply outputs some chosen text to screen.I want to change the string that's output by changing the code. Nothing fancy now, but it'll obviously be used for far more indepth stuff when (if?) I get this going properly.
I have a fla with nested swf's. My question is, can I update a swf in the fla library if I have changed it within its own source fla and re exported to the same swf file name. ( as can be done with graphics in Indesign )
View 3 RepliesI just wondered, I'm a total newbie to this, but I can update image files or swap them in my library and everything in the timeline (effects and stuff) stay the same with the new image in place. But when I try to double click an imported illustrator file to swap that for the new saved version it doesn't allow me. Is there anyway to do it without starting that object again from scratch?

i have some dynamic text inside a moive clip which is supposed to hold the users' mouse x/y.my code is
_root.findx = _root._xmouse;
_root.findy = _root._ymouse;
my problem is how can i make the clip update itself so that everytime the mouse moves the code will change?
i feel bad abt posting this question, but idk what the problem is.
I am working in two different applications, one to be compiled for desktop use (AIR) and one to be compiled for the web. They are part of the same project and use the same visual components, but they are completely different apps. When a visual component is changed in one application then it should also change in the other one. Is this a good situation to use a shared library fla? I am new to the concept of shared libraries and I am considering the options.
On one had I would not have to update 2 applications everytime I change something, on the other, I would always have to recompile the library folder when I do the smallest changes to a component.
This may sound simple but it's not at all from what I can tell. Hell it may be impossible but I might as well ask...Anyways, what I'm trying to ask for is a way to update the images embedded in an FLA somehow without having to manually re-import each individual file every time they get changed on the hard drive. We have a massive project with a large amount of FLA files, and having to manually re-import all of the images every time new things are committed to the repository is going to get rediculous very fast.
View 3 RepliesFirstly i am not sure if this is the correct forum, basically i have updated my flash movie on my website, and the updates have taken effect in mozilla and google chrome, however in IE 7 & 8 the old flash movie still displays. I get this is down to the cache and i have tried several code snippets to correct this but nothing seems to make a difference.Is there anything that i can do with the flash code to force the browsers to reload the the movie each time they visit?
View 2 RepliesI'll start off by saying that I'm new to Flash. I'm using the CS5 Web Premium suite and want to publish an updated version of a Flash movie that contains PhotoShop files which I've recently modified. Unfortunately, when I open the .FLA file in Flash Professional CS5, it's not apparent to me how to do this. I don't see the PhotoShop files anywhere in the Library pane and thus can't figure out a way to update the Flash movie to recognize my newly modified .PSD files.

View 1 RepliesBeen so long I haven't write anything here in the forum. I have a big FLA file containing a huge symbol with lots of subsymbols on it. The structure is crazy however there is no even a single line of code in the FLA. The big symbols is exported for actionscript, is associated with some class (say TheSymbol) and its base class is set to MovieClip. I publish the big FLA file to SWC file and link the SWC to project with "Merge into code" linkage type.

-I need to load a movie clip to the stage from the library.
-I also need that movie clip to load with a certain string of actionscript code in it.
To load the movie clip, i checked the "export for actionscript" thing in the "linkage" section of the movie clip info, and i named the class "sol1".I then used this code on the first (and only) frame:
Code: Select all
_root.attachMovie("sol1", "NewInstanceName", {_x: 50, _y: 100});
It seems to work, but the question is, how do i load the movie clip with code in it?
I'm involved in writing a Flex/ActionScript library and in the future I will be involved in writing the same library in JavaScript. Rather than writing a library in each language and having to maintain them separately I was wondering if it was possible to:
1) Write the code in one language and share the code into the other e.g. Write the code in JavaScript and use the same .js files in ActionScript
2) Write the code in one language and perform a conversion into the other
I know it's possible to communicate between Flash/ActionScript and JavaScript but I'd like to avoid the overheads in using the technology bridge so this isn't really an option.
How do other people deal with writing and maintaining libraries that do exactly the same thing but in different languages? Specifically how do people do this between JavaScript and ActionScript?
Will flash CS5 get an update which will allow it to create .APK files for the android platform, like it was supposed to be able to do for iPhone?(before apple denied that kind ofdevelopment)
That would be a dream come true and would be a really good reason to upgrade to a CS5 license after the trialperiod is over.
